Test Sync; Using The Flash Off-Camera; Change Settings - Profoto A1 User Manual

Test sync

To test the flash or take meter readings with a light meter the test button
will fire a flash on the A1 unit. If Air is activated it will also fire test flashes
on all flashes on the selected channel.
Press the test button [12] to manually transmit a sync signal and fire
the flash.

Using the flash off-camera

The A1 unit is easy to use also as an off-camera flash unit as it has a built
20
in radio transceiver (AirTTL). The transmitting unit in the camera hot
shoe can be either an A1 unit or an Air Remote.
1. On the transmitting unit in the camera hot shoe, enable Air and
set channel.
2. On the off-camera unit, enable Air and set channel to the same as
on the transmitting unit.
